Students will understand the benefits and consequences of being in a world where we are more connected then ever. In a world where we are just a plane flight away from another state or country, diseases can spread rapidly.
Using this kit my students will become biomedical engineers as they explore how to prepare for outbreaks of highly contagious diseases.
Students will research various outbreaks in history and make correlations between geography and human movement. They will also compare and contrast methods used to contain these outbreaks, and how they impacted communities. By examining these catastrophic events in history and methods used to problem solve, they become globally competent students who can investigate the world, weigh perspectives, interact with diverse audiences, and take action.
In this real world outbreak scenario, my globally competent students will use the Engineering Design Process to take action and design an antiviral to stop a newly discovered virus from infecting a model cell. After all, what person doesn't want to save the world!
